One of the first major projects and most important collections of ALMA are the 600 hours of Oral History tapes that we recorded from elderly survivors during the years 1975-1981. These rare interviews, recorded on cassette tape by a team of volunteers led by Bethel Charkoudian, are a unique record of the lives of 287 survivors, recorded and preserved for later generations. Although stored in a climate-controlled room, the inherent fragility of the tapes (the act of playing them can create deterioration) limited their use and access was confined to the families of the survivor or academic researchers. They became a "buried treasures". | One of the first major projects and most important collections of ALMA are the 600 hours of Oral History tapes that we recorded from elderly survivors during the years 1975-1981.

The Herbert Offen collection of over 2,500 volumes extends beyond the narrow focus on the types and development of Oriental rugs, and encompasses broader issues including the social implications of rug collecting, symbolism and theory, care and aesthetics, the commercial marketing and business of rugs, economic and domestic structures in carpet production, historical and contemporary use of rugs, and other textile traditions closely related to rugs. The research library includes all published works related to Armenian rugs, as well as extensive range of works on all genres or rugs of the Middle East and related artistic traditions. The collection is also home to many rare works of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when oriental rug studies was starting to emerge as a distinct discipline. | The Herbert Offen collection of over 2,500 volumes extends beyond the narrow focus on the types and development of Oriental rugs, and encompasses broader issues including the social implications of rug collecting, symbolism and theory, care and aesthetics, the commercial marketing and business of rugs, economic and domestic structures in carpet production, historical and contemporary use of rugs, and other textile traditions closely related to rugs.
